Review the RI Lesson Planning Framework in light of what you read in Ch 07. Explain how formative assessment is related to developing instructional objectives.
- It allows you to keep tabs on the kids understanding throughout the lesson as you teach.
- The objectives are the main "questions" or "ideas", that you would want the students to understand for the formative assessment.
- Depending on how specific the objective is, you will be able to format the test questions based on how in depth the specific objective is.
- In formative assessment you are able to pinpoint if the class is not understanding something, which will allow you to use different methods to teach the objectives which were not understood.
- It is like backward design because where the teacher makes objectives and then make sure that all the lessons and assesments relate back to the objectives
